Haitian Hope - Since 2006 Haitian Hope has partnered with the people of a small mountain village in Haiti to fund teachers for a local school, provide necessary school supplies for the 275 students, and supply meals for the students and teachers to have a hot, sustaining lunch each day. We believe that education can empower an impoverished rural village and that the long term relationships that sustain this project not only lead to its success, but transform the partners on both sides of the world. Haitian Hope strives to be efficient by operating without any paid staff, giving 100% of funds to the work in Trouin. Donations to Haitian Hope, Inc. can be made by mailing a check to P.O.
